Spurs to eek this out 1-0.

Wolves playing alright but they just have no threat in final third now Jimenez has declined after serious injury.

Just turned it on 5 minutes ago and it's been all Wolves so far. So many good footballing sides in the PL nowadays who can knock it around with real quality. Have to love it.

Have to admire all the work Wolves have done since getting promoted.

Yes, they have benefited more from their 'connections' than most promotion teams have, but they get more things right than they do wrong.

Lage seems a talented manager.

They had a midtable PL quality squad when they were in the Championship. Any prat could have managed to get them to the level they got (as demonstrated by Nuno).

This game could knock a lot of people out of Last Man Standings everywhere.

For all the praise Conte and Spurs get. They are soo boring to watch, oh and look distinctively average.

The style of football is no different than Mourinho.

Spurs midfield is non existent for the second week running. Meaning Kane, Kulu have to work harder to get things done. Not ideal.

At Chelsea, Conte had Kante which helped Hazard and Costa immensely.

Do Spurs play on the front foot against anyone?
Despite spending all week looking forward to watching some football, I’m really close to putting Spurs on the ignore list.

I’ve rarely seen a Conte match which has been exciting to watch. The most dull football I’ve seen along with Jose.

Utd were absolutely right never to give Conte the job no matter how bad it got.

Spurs are at home. 36 mins and 0 shots. Spurs just had a spell of only 22% possession. Amazing.

Bizarre to watch a Wolves game where they're not the reason it's boring

Conte's style might be successful but it comes at the cost of it being just horrible to watch. I know we're desperate, but I'd much rather we look to you know actually play football instead.

So many teams in PL play back 3 now. I counted 10 last weekend and Wolves now another one.

Spurs struggling to create chances with a flat back 6 yet again.
Conte may have got top 4 but it’s an ugly way to do it. Don’t think it lasts

They were in some of the worst form around last 2-3 months of last season. I think Lage will be gone by world cup break if they don't string some wins. They're still very short of goals, certainly no consistent scorer in the side with Guedes needing time to adapt.

Wolves midfield is so much better than ours it's ridiculous. And people say Neves isn't an upgrade on our current options(excluding Casemiro). :wenger:
